Google enhances the security of Android 2.2
Google has recently made safety updates on Android 2.2 (Froyo) for system administrators of the professional environments.
Control of mobile devices running the Google OS from Google Apps has been optimized in order to promote productivity and safety.
Google announced the integration of Gmail in HTML5
During the 2010 Usenix WebApps Boston, Adam Boor, an engineer at Google, has announced that Gmail would incorporate new functionalities for HTML 5.The goal of development teams is to reduce the loading time of pages of online messaging. With HTML 5, it should drop below the second.
The use of CSS3 instead of Document Object Model (FOD) should lead to such a gain of 12% in rendering service pages.
Listed functionalities, the gradual adoption of future standard by the major browsers should also allow the generalization of drag and drop attachments from the desktop to the window messaging. Adam Boor unveiled the feature contrast, drag and drop from the browser to the desktop, is also being investigated but that it would not be achieved through HTML 5 but with a new data transfer protocol internally dubbed "DownloadURL".
Early confirmation Google thinks very hard about HTML 5 (and its application cache) to replace Gears. The Cache application can use the browser's cache to work offline with an application such as Cloud originally hosted. There is such need to be logged in (e) to write text in Google Docs (see also "Google Docs: more features").
Until Gmail operated the proprietary technology of Google Gears. The mail then migrate progressively towards the use of these "super cookies" HTML 5. For the record, Adam de Boor has also revealed that the Gmail program consisted of 443,000 lines of JavaScript. A figure rises to almost 980,000 lines if it adds the comments.
For those who wonder whether the use of Java to build such a service could not have been more appropriate, Adam de Boor said that yes, this technology might have been more optimized but that language was ultimately more "wordy" than JavaScript.
For him, most criticisms to JavaScript does not come from other language itself, but how it is implemented in browsers.
He concluded that the most important issue was ultimately not much choice of Java or JavaScript but how to produce the best possible code based on the language used.
No timetable or roadmap, however, have been given concerning the integration of HTML 5 in Gmail.

The Google’s passwords management system could be compromised, following the Chinese attacks of 2009
The attacks last December for Google from China, the management system passwords have been compromised the firm (the level of intrusiveness of the system had not known).
At Google, it's a program called Gaia which manages passwords of users for access to all web services of the firm, including those dedicated professionals (Google Apps). This application is highly confidential and rarely mentioned.
Asian Hackers have managed to get into googlienne infrastructure, but they have not managed to steal passwords of Gmail. Good news for the millions of users mail client.
However, vigilance is warranted because cybercriminals may be able, during their private tour of the bowels of the giant benefit to identify vulnerabilities unknown to date.
There is therefore a risk that hackers operate a return to the date of their choice, and despite the security enhancements introduced by Google.
These threats could explain the arrival of a geolocation tool in Gmail (to check if the connection is from a usual place).
For, according to an anonymous source close to the investigation, the intruders have targeted especially the jobs of developers in the Gaia ... And tried to access the source files of the application. How it had it been planned?
Using the information in "moma", an internal file that lists all employees and their activities.
